More than 6,000 Assamese people fled Bangalore in panic on Wednesday following rumours that the community was likely to be attacked just like it had been elsewhere in the country in the aftermath of the clashes between Bodos and migrant Muslims in Assam.
Some employees referred to direct threats of violence after Ramzan being made to them, others referred to an alleged video of a brutal attack in Assam being circulated among Muslims for which reprisals are being planned, while still others referred to alleged warnings from the police itself.
The customary :finger: to Congress and its supporters.

There is some rumours in reports too! There are no "special trains" - they were scheduled earlier. It seems people in the Sarjapur / Martahalli area ( high density Muslim population) were threatened.

Maratahalli has a high density of northie and golts population. Muslim areas in Bangalore are RT Nagar and Shivaji nagar. Dont know about rumours of attacks but people are going home for the long leave they get if they combine 15th and 20th august. 3 people in my team are on leave too

There were no special trains - these were scheduled on July 25 for the long weekend. No situation in Bangalore. Ganna - There is a very decent population of Muslims at Maryahalli I can assure you that.

Tibetan student stabbed and battling for his life in Mysore after being identified as a Northeasterner. Perpetrators have not been arrested yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manipuri student attacked TWICE in one week after which he decided to leave Pune. D R Ramanand, Khondram's local acquaintance and an associate professor in a city college, said. "I tried persuading him to stay back and complete his course, but he had made up his mind and left for his hometown." The Cantonment police station officials yesterday arrested Shahbaz Punjabi (24) and Sharukh Shaikh (20). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mohsin Aslam Shaikh was arrested in connection with the attack on a student from Manipur, Rokuozetuo Ltu (25), in Kondhwa on August 11. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nadeem Rashid Ansari (18), Imamuddin Shafiq Shaikh (20), Vasim Faruq Shaikh (22), Muzaffar Azim Jamadar (19), Muzammil Ubedulla Shaikh (18), Tipu Javed Shaikh (19), Ejaz Sherahmed Shaikh (21), Rafiq Mehmood Shaikh (21) and Mateen Mohammed Pathan (19) were arrested and released on bail for the initial attacks on several Northeastern students in Pune. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gripped by panic following rumours of attack on some of their compatriots, about 5,000 people of North Eastern states. The Bangalore City Railway station was flooded with people from North Eastern states to board the available trains as rumours spread that some people from the state had been subjected to attacks in the city. In the wake of abrupt exodus of passengers, the South Western Railway decided to run a special train. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of the victims have claimed that they were asked by their attackers if they were from Assam, leading the investigators to question if the assaults are a fallout of the Bodo-Muslim riots. Kahomdai Panmei, a 28-year-old professional, who was attacked on August 8 said, Ū donÃÕ know why I was attacked. I was beaten up by iron rods, without knowing what my mistake is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We may turn a deaf ear to being called 'chinki', but physical assaults must stop, insist students at north-east students' gathering in Pune.

Waves of communal hatred are ruining the country at the moment and there is a powerful section of the society that is fueling it because they stand to gain in the long term. I hope the common man understands the fatal nature of the sentiments soon and abandon them for good.
